I received this info. from Horizon Organic Milk via email this week. I thought it was interesting enough to share on Fitness Friday:
Research has shown that chocolate milk’s balance of carbohydrates and protein makes it an effective recovery tool following exercise. In a recent study, endurance cyclists went through intensive interval training. At break, they were given lowfat chocolate milk or a performance/recovery drink. The study found that cyclists who drank lowfat chocolate milk performed longer and their energy was not exhausted as quickly.
In addition to supporting performance and endurance, experts say taking in the carbs and protein in chocolate milk after a workout may also help support the muscles.
OK, you don't have to tell me twice that I can drink chocolate milk! I love when they tell us any kind of chocolate can be good for you!
